MY TACOMA HAS BEEN IN A COUPLE TIMES FOR TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT AND HAS BEEN INSPECTED FOR RUST BUT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE OR SAID ABOUT IT NEEDING ANYTHING DONE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I NOTICED THAT WHEN I SLOWED DOWN MY LIFTED AND WHEN I ACCELERATED MY BED LOWERED. I PULLED OFF TO FIND THAT MY FRAMES HAS RUSTED APART IN FRONT OF REAR LEAF SPRING. TOYOTA CORPORATE WAS CALLED AND THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE?

THE FRAME OF THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY RUSTED AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME. HAVE SPENT A GREAT DEAL ON PARTS DUE TO THE RUST AND NOW IT IS CONSIDERED AS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET TOYOTA'S ATTENTION ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY KEEP TURNING ME AWAY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT ON THE INTERNET AND FOLKS AROUND MY COMMUNITY WHO OWN THE SAME TYPE VEHICLE IS RUSTED AS WELL. PLEASE! I NEED SOMEONE TO CONTACT TOYOTA ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, IMMEDIATELY REDUCED SPEED TO AROUND 40 MPH. THE "TRAC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", SO I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE NEXT EXIT AND I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO PART STORE FOR A CODE READER. P2440/ P2442 CAME UP IN ERROR, SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM STUCK OPEN. THIS WAS AN 800$ PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I DID THE WORK.. TOYOTA TACOMA 4X4 2012 SR5 V6 4.0L 59,965 MILES

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CODE P2440 AND P2442. AIR INJECTION SYSTEM VALVES ARE STUCK OPEN (RELATED TO EMISSIONS CONTROL UNIT) WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO 'LIMP' MODE ABRUPBTLY. THIS RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE, AND CAN OCCUR IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING CAUSING SERIOUS DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO COVER UNDER ANY POWERTRAIN OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE IS PERVASIVE AMONG 2012 TACOMA OWNERS AND TOYOTA REDESIGNED THE SYSTEM AS EARLY AS 2013 WHICH IMPLICATES THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A DEFECT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I WENT TO MY MECHANIC FOR A SMALL REPAIR RECENTLY AND HE INFORMED ME (AND SHOWED ME) EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME AND A MAJOR SPLIT IN THE FRAME FROM THE EXTENSIVE RUST. HE HAS TOLD ME THAT PERFORATIONS ARE IMMINENT IN THE FRAME AND THAT THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO FOUND RUST DAMAGE TO MY BRAKES, ROTORS, PAINT (CHIPPING WITH RUST), WHEEL CAPS, AND TAILGATE. HE INFORMED ME THAT I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON DIRT ROADS OR HAUL ANYTHING. 75% OF THE ROADS WHERE I RESIDE ARE DIRT ROADS. COST OF FRAME REPLACEMENT WOULD EXCEED WHAT I PAID FOR THE TRUCK; I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 6 MONTHS. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE, BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM EITHER. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS SETTLED IN 2016 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK AND REPAIR OR REPLACE ALL OF THE AFFECTED PARTS OF THE TRUCK DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE. I USE MY TRUCK TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF MY MOM WHO LIVES 600+ MILES FROM ME; MY MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR LONG DISTANCES. THIS HAS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON MY DAILY LIFE AND MY ABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF MY MOM. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO BARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEFICIENT PARTS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE LIABLE FOR THESE DAMAGES. PLEASE ADVISE. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LAWYER.

STEERING
I HAVE NOTICED THE STEERING IS STIFF WHEN DRIVING. IT WILL BE FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, DURING A TURN IT WILL SEEM TO STICK. THIS HAS CAUSED CONCERN WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY COULD RESULT IN OVERCOMPENSATION AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTICED BY SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT #2. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WILL NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED 1998 TOYOTA TACOMA 4WD TRUCK OCTOBER 2012. VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR FRAME RUST AND WAS SERVICED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP 05/25/2011 AND FRAME AND UNDER CARRIAGE WAS INSPECTED, CLEANED, PREPARED AND COATED WITH UNDERCOATING. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. MILEAGE AT TIME WAS 161,757. IN LATE 2012 RUST SPOTS DEVELOPED AGAIN AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN UNTIL THE FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE ABOVE THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL IN THE VICINITY OF THE SHOCK ABSORB-ER BRACKET WHICH ALSO WAS RUSTED THROUGH. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER RUST PROBLEM AREAS ON THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION PARTS AND ANOTHER FRAME RUST THROUGH IS EVIDENT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ABOVE THE REAR TIRE AT THE SHOCK ABSORB-ERR BRACKET.. DECEMBER 2016, MILEAGE 211,927 THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE UNSAFE FOR OPERATION AND TAKEN OFF THE PUBLIC ROADWAYS BY THE CURRENT OWNER AFTER THE FRAME BROKE INTO WHILE TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO FEAR OF BEING HELD LIABLE FOR DEATH, INJURY OR DISMEMBERMENT TO SELF, PERSON OR PERSONS DUE TO KNOWINGLY CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNSAFE. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OF FRAME RUST THROUGH PROBLEMS, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT HANDLED THE RECALL IN 2011 WAS CONTACTED IN PERSON BY THE CURRENT OWNER ON FEBRUARY 21, 2017 AT 1:30 PM AND WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE ENHANCED WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 15 YEARS FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED NEW AND PLACED IN SERVICE WHICH WAS APRIL 1998 AND HAD EXPIRED IN APRIL 2013. AS THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA THAT A WARRANTY HAD EVER EXISTED AND WOULD SOON EXPIRE AND NOR MYSELF OR THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS EVER NOTIFIED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REINSPECTED BY TOYOTA TO MAKE SURE THE PROBLEM HAD NOT REOCCURRED AND VEHICLE WAS SAFE FOR CONTINUED OPERATION.
